3.3.3 Parts Application Derating Stress Analysis EEE-INST-002 or ATK-approved equivalent derating requirements shall be applied to the application of all electrical, electronic and electromechanical (EEE) parts. Derating shall be performed in accordance with the following conditions: a. Worst case power dissipation, voltage, and/or current for each piece-part circuit operation during any phase of integration/test or on-orbit operation. b. Worst case operating temperature (including test environments) corresponding to the conditions of item a above. The thermal model noted in paragraph 3.3.3 shall be used as an input to the part derating analysis. c. Derating shall be applied as required for mitigation of radiation or other environmental, design, or operational effects, e.g., part parameter variations due to total ionizing dose and derating for power MOSFETS due to heavy ion effects. All parts (excluding GSE) shall meet derating requirements or shall require explicit ATK review and approval. Parts failing the derating criteria shall be evaluated in their typical application stress environment. If the part exceeds derating in this typical environment, an examination of the frequency of performance in the high application stress environment shall be made. Each derating noncompliance shall be evaluated on a case-by-case basis by ATK. The Subcontractor shall submit a Preliminary derating analysis to ATK for review and approval prior to PDR. The final derating analysis shall be submitted to ATK prior to CDR. Any changes to parts application stress shall cause the analysis to be updated and resubmitted to ATK. 3.3.4 Failure Modes and Effects Analysis A Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) shall be performed per the SOW to verify the failure tolerance requirements of the Performance Specification are met, to identify and eliminate Single Point Failures (SPFs), to assess critical failure areas, and to minimize operational risk caused by catastrophic or marginal failure of critical parts. For electrical assemblies, the FMEA shall address effects caused by common failure modes (i.e., short circuit, open circuit, parameter drift). CxP-02019 shall be used as a guide in preparing the FMEA. The

FMEA results shall be used to determine the need for fault-tolerant design features, additional derating, higher reliability parts, ground operations contingency planning for on-orbit anomalies, and appropriate quality inspection points. The Subcontractor shall require ATK’s approval for any SPF that cannot be eliminated from the design. FMEA does not apply to GSE. Initial FMEAs shall be performed at the component functional level to identify loss of function and alternatives that may be used to restore, partially or completely, that function. Where it is determined that a critical failure exists, the analysis shall be extended through progressively lower levels from functional block down to the piece part level as needed. FMEAs shall be performed on: a. Interfaces of each functional block, b. Failure modes associated with common power lines, c. Isolation circuits for redundant elements, d. Cross-strapping circuitry, e. Flight hardware interfaces with GSE, f. Non-explosive actuator and pyro-actuator circuitry (if applicable), g. Single Event Effect (SEE) susceptible parts, and h. Mechanisms (as applicable); a Fault Tree Analysis shall be performed on all mechanisms. FMEA outputs shall also be used to ensure that adequate telemetry and command capabilities are available to detect and control failures, identify design incompatibilities and inadequacies and verify, as far as possible, that all redundant elements and all critical and major failure modes can be fully tested. Severity categories defining the criticality of the failures are shown below. Category 1 Catastrophic – A failure that could result in loss of life or system loss. Category 2 Critical – A failure that could result in severe injury, major system damage that may result in mission loss. Category 3 Marginal – A failure that could result in minor injury, minor property damage, or minor system damage that may result in delay or loss of availability or mission degradation (e.g., loss of redundancy) Category 4 Minor – A failure not serious enough to cause injury, system damage, or loss of mission objectives. The Subcontractor shall submit a preliminary and Final FMEA to ATK for review and approval in accordance with the SOW. Any design changes that impact the FMEA shall cause the analysis to be updated and resubmitted to ATK. 3.3.5 Critical Items List (CIL) The Subcontractor shall prepare and maintain a Critical Items List per the SOW. CxP-02019 shall be used as a guide in preparing the CIL. The purpose of the list is to identify mission critical items and document the controls and measures implemented to minimize their risk. Items entered on the list include: a. Items causing a Single Point Failure, b. Parts out of accepted de-rating conditions, c. Items that may cause or control safety hazards, d. Items or processes using devices without prior flight heritage technologies, e. Age/wear sensitive components, f. Moving mechanical assemblies, g. Procurement schedule critical components/piece parts, h. Parts/components utilized extensively throughout the system/subsystem, i. Parts/components with high or questionable failure rate or ones with a worst-case lifetime shorter than the mission requirement, j. Items requiring special handling or that are difficult to test on the ground, and

k. Materials used in critical applications that have outgassing rates exceeding program requirements. The Critical Item List shall identify which of the above categories the item falls under. The List shall: a. Determine and document the requirements to be imposed on each Critical Item, b.

If the supplier is uncertain as to the effect on specified requirements, the concurrence of the ATK Quality Representative shall be obtained. This authority does not extend to the use of Material Review Board (MRB) for the purpose of changing engineering criteria, which can be accomplished by drawing change. This delegation is subject to change at any time by ATK, and can be rescinded at any time by written notification from ATK. Material Review records shall be made available to ATK Quality Assurance upon request. All nonconforming material for Customer and Government Furnished Material (Regardless of Classification) requires Approval by ATK or the Government prior to any MRB disposition. If during hardware review ATK deems that an incorrect delegation of Class has been made to a nonconformance which results in the unacceptable use and subsequent replacement of said part(s), the Subcontractor will be responsible for all costs associated with replacement and any testing. 3.9.2 Failure Review Boards (FRB) A failure is any test anomaly, regardless of apparent magnitude. ATK approval shall be required for resolution of any failures during or after acceptance, protoflight , or qualification testing, including retest requirements. The Subcontractor shall conduct Failure Review Board (FRB) meetings to review failure reports and to decide the appropriate corrective action. The FRB shall ensure the following:

a. Status of failure investigation is reported bi-monthly, and more frequently as shipment of hardware nears, and a plan of action for open reports is established and carried out, b. Root cause of failure is determined or, if an exact cause cannot be determined, that a rigorous failure analysis has been conducted, c. Effectivity or other impact upon the hardware (e.g., over-stressed parts) is determined and actions are initiated as appropriate, d. Each failure report and failure analysis report shall be reviewed by ATK. If the Subcontractor experiences failures during qualification, protoflight, or acceptance testing, the Subcontractor shall generate a failure report and notify ATK within 24 hours of the failure occurrence. Presence of an ATK representative during testing shall constitute notification. ATK shall have approval authority of final FRB results. ATK concurrence with cause and corrective action findings is required. All unverified failures (exact cause is not known) during acceptance, protoflight, or qualification testing at board level and above shall be reviewed and evaluated by the Subcontractor. Unverified failures at board level and above shall be reported to ATK. Actions regarding any unverified failures at the unit level shall be submitted to ATK for review and approval. 3.9.2.1 Failure Investigation Each failure/anomaly shall require an investigation as to root cause, rework or repair action, and corrective action. The investigation shall be performed at the lowest level necessary to identify the failure mode. Supporting documentation resulting from each analysis and investigation shall be attached to and made a part of the failure report. Copies of each completed failure report and supporting documentation shall be furnished to ATK. ATK’s approval shall be required for final disposition, re-entrance into acceptance, protoflight, or qualification test and test re-start location. 3.9.3 Corrective and Preventive Action The Subcontractor shall aggressively correct and proactively approach any item adversely affecting performance, cost, or schedule. The Subcontractor shall establish and maintain documented procedures for implementing corrective and preventive action. Any corrective or preventive action taken to eliminate the causes of an actual or potential nonconformance shall be to a degree appropriate to the magnitude of problems and commensurate with the risks encountered. The Subcontractor shall implement and record any changes to the documented procedures resulting from corrective and preventive action. 3.9.3.1 Corrective Action The procedures for corrective action shall include: a. Effective handling of customer complaints and reports of the nonconformance, b.

a. The use of appropriate sources of information such as processes and work operations which affect product quality, concessions, audit results, quality records, service reports, and customer complaints to detect, analyze, and eliminate potential causes of the nonconformance, b. Determination of the steps needed to deal with any problems requiring preventive action, c. Initiation of preventive action and application of controls to ensure that it is effective, d. Ensuring that relevant information on actions is submitted for management review. 3.10 SOFTWARE QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM The only applicable flight software/firmware on the Orion LAS is in the Attitude Control Motor. If applicable to the product, the Subcontractor shall implement a Software Product Assurance (S/W PA) Program with the intent to verify that all software requirements are flowed down, implemented, and verified appropriately. The objectives of this program shall be to establish basic requirements for the design, development, configuration control, test, verification, problem reporting, safety, storage and maintenance of software developed for the subcontract. The Subcontractor shall submit S/W PA Plans in compliance with the SOW. Software and firmware are both referred to as software for the purposes of this document. The Subcontractor’s S/W PA Program shall apply to: a. Flight Software: This category includes any software that will be integrated into ATK software as well as software that will be embedded in any flight component supplied by the Subcontractor, b. GSE Software: This category includes software associated with acceptance, protoflight, or qualification testing of the component or software supplied to support Spacecraft Integration and Test, c. Design Support Software: This category includes software associated with the design, development, testing, or production of deliverable software. 3.10.1 Audits on Software Quality Assurance The Subcontractor shall perform Software Quality Audits and reports in accordance with NASASTD-8739.8, and participate in key milestone activities, as well as support Software Product Assurance audits performed by ATK, as required. The Software Quality Audit Report shall include: a. Date performed b. List SQA personnel involved in the audit, and number of hours spent c. Evaluate/audit criteria including which software process or product is being reviewed, and which established procedures are they being compared to d. Findings, including detected problems, with reference to the Software Problem Report e. Recommended Corrective Actions f. Date for follow-up g. Status on any remaining corrective actions from previous audits 3.10.2 Software System Safety If the subcontracted item contains Safety Critical Computing Systems Functions (SCCSFs), the Subcontractor shall assure that the software is analyzed and corrective actions taken to ensure that the software design and testing. The Subcontractor shall provide sufficient access into the software development approach utilized in the components regarding safety critical software. Examples of SCCSFs include: a. The priority structure of fault detection and safeing or correcting logic shall be considered safety critical. Software units or modules handling or responding to these faults shall be designated as SCCSFs.

b. Interrupt processor software, interrupt priority schemes and routines that disable or enable interrupts shall be considered SCCSFs. c. Software-generated signals that have autonomous control over safety critical hardware shall be designated as SCCSFs. d. Software-generated signals that have been shown through detailed analyses, such as Fault Tree Analyses, to directly influence movement of hardware components or initiate safety critical actions, such as arm command for thermal wax actuator solar array deployments or satellite-to-launch vehicle separation, shall be designated as SCCSFs. e. Software-generated outputs that display the status of safety critical hardware systems shall be designated SCCSFs and shall, where possible, be duplicated by non-software generated output. f. Software used to compute safety critical data shall be designated SCCSFs. This includes applications software that may not be connected to or control a hardware system, such as stress analysis programs. 3.10.3 Software Configuration Management The Subcontractor shall implement a Configuration and Data Management (CDM) system that meets the intent of SEI-CMMI Level 3, or equivalent industry standard approved by ATK. This system shall be documented and the documentation provided to ATK with the Product Assurance Plan or separate Software PA Plan. Build logs shall be maintained, to allow traceability of version numbers used at each step in the product flow. The change control system shall require a full description of each change and the reason for each change. If applicable, the nonconformance record number shall be included in the change description. 3.10.4 Software Quality The subcontractor shall have an independent Software/Project quality representative whose responsibility is to ensure that all requirements are properly documented, that a verification matrix is developed to assure all requirements are satisfied, to administrate software problems/anomalies, to witness critical software tests, and to fulfill other assurance functions as necessary to meet requirements of the subcontract. The Subcontractor shall notify ATK SQA of peer and formal reviews 3.10.4.1 Software Verification and Validation (V&V) The Subcontractor shall implement a V&V function on all deliverable software. This function will be responsible for the following software tasks: a. Stress-testing, b. End-to-end testing, c. Testing of fault-protection features, d. Traceability matrix between requirements and test-cases, e. Defining/implementing regression testing, following all version changes, f. Fault tree analysis for safety critical functions, or those functions that control hazard. The V&V test requirements (conditions, pass/fail criteria) shall be clearly documented, and the as-run results shall be part of the final data package.
